Pannellum (https://pannellum.org/) is the JS library I use to host panoramic images in this blog, tagged under #panorama360. Before this I generate the multi resolution images on my Thinkpad ⁽¹⁾ or Mac Mini, and it’s been over 2 years since I setup those. I need to setup the generate script in my Macbook Air ⁽²⁾ since it’s my main #laptop for blogging.

1. Install Docker for Mac (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/). Download the .dmg file, after done, mount it & drag the #Docker app into Application folder.
2. Check docker command in Terminal, which docker, it should exist in /usr/local/bin/docker
3. By referring documentation at https://github.com/mpetroff/pannellum/tree/master/utils/multires
   • get Dockerfile & generate.py, and put them in one folder.
4. Build docker container
   • using Terminal, go to the folder containing Dockerfile & generate.py files.
   • run docker build -t generate-panorama .
5. Add generate_panorama as alias in ~/.zshrc

   alias generate_panorama='f() { docker run -it -v $PWD:/data generate-panorama --output /data/output /data/$1; cd output; zip -r ../$1.zip *; cd ..; rm -fr output };f'

6. To use this command:
   • cd folder
   • generate_panorama 01.jpg, this will generate 01.jpg.zip file
